Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95

If f(x) = 3^2 + 1 and g(x) = 1 – x, what is the value of (f – g)(2)?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(f - g)(2) = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3² + 1

g(x) = 1 - x

(f - g)(2) = f(2) - g(2)

f(2) = 9 + 1 = 10

g(2) = 1 - 2 = -1

10 - (-1) = 10 + 1 = 11

(f - g)(2) = 11

6. Let A and B be nxn matrices . Compute (A + B) (A + B). Explain all steps.
Pie

Answer:

(A+B)(A+B)=A.A+B.A+A.B+B.B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that matrices A and B are nxn matrices

We need to find (A+B)(A+B)

For understanding the multiplication of matrices let'take A is mxn and B is pxq matrices,we can multiple only when n=p,so our Ab matrices will be mxq.

We know that that in matrices AB is not equal to BA.

Now find  

(A+B)(A+B)=A.A+B.A+A.B+B.B

So from we can say that (A+B)(A+B) is not equal to A.A+2B.A+B.B because AB is not equal to BA in matrices.

So (A+B)(A+B)=A.A+B.A+A.B+B.B
